Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of animal husbandry, in particular to a feed trough for a chicken farm. Background Art
[0002] The feed troughs used to hold feed for laying hens or broilers in chicken farms are mostly long strips. When feeding, a trolley carrying a feed bucket moves from one end of the trough to the other. During the movement of the trolley, the feed bucket continuously puts feed into the trough. Since the feed is put in from one end of the trough, laying hens and broilers will chase the feed to eat, causing a chaotic environment in the chicken farm. In addition, most of the feeding methods are one-time feeding, and the feeding amount is large to meet the feeding needs. Therefore, the feed trough is designed to be deep and large in volume, which is not convenient for the chickens behind to eat. In addition, there is too much feed in the trough at the beginning of the feeding period, which easily causes the feed to splash when eating. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the feed trough for chicken farms includes a silo 1 and a trough 6. The trough 6 is a rectangular trough body. The silo 1 is located on one side of the trough 6 and is used to hold feed. The silo 1 is a rectangular silo with a length corresponding to that of the trough 6. The feed inlet 101 of the silo 1 is arranged at one end of the silo top away from the trough 6, and the feed inlet 101 is a rectangular opening structure with a length corresponding to that of the silo 1, so that the trolley carrying the feed bucket can output feed from the feed inlet 101 to the silo 1 during the movement. The silo 1 is provided with a discharge port at the bottom of the side wall of one side corresponding to the trough 6. The discharge port is a rectangular opening with a length corresponding to that of the trough 6. The trough 6 is connected to the silo 1 at the discharge port position. The feed in the silo 1 is discharged to the trough 6 through the discharge port. The silo 1 is provided with a star-shaped discharger 8 at the discharge port. The star-shaped discharger 8 can control the speed and amount of material discharged from the silo 1 to the trough 6. Under the action of the star-shaped discharger 8, the material is continuously and evenly discharged to the trough 6 through the discharge port of the silo 1, and the trough 6 is fed simultaneously along its own length direction, so that the trough 6 maintains a certain amount of feed during the feeding period, and the feed amount is relatively stable, so as to achieve stable and balanced feeding of chickens raised in the chicken farm.
[0029] In the utility model, the bottom of the silo 1 includes a connected inclined bottom 102 and a horizontal bottom 103, wherein the horizontal bottom 103 is arranged close to the discharge port, and the inclined bottom 102 is arranged at one end of the horizontal bottom 103 away from the discharge port. The arrangement of the inclined bottom 102 facilitates the movement of feed to the discharge port, and the arrangement of the horizontal bottom 103 facilitates the arrangement of the star-shaped discharger 8 at the discharge port. In order to prevent the feed from splashing when the star-shaped discharger 8 rotates and to improve the safety of the device, the silo 1 is provided with an arc-shaped protective plate 9 outside the discharge port, and the star-shaped discharger 8 is shielded by the arc-shaped protective plate 9, thereby improving the discharge safety of the silo 1 and preventing the feed from splashing.
[0030] In order to further realize the smooth and stable output of feed in the silo 1 to the feed trough 6, a guide plate 11 is provided at the discharge port of the silo 1, and the discharge port and the feed trough 6 are connected by the guide plate 11. The left and right ends of the guide plate 11 are respectively provided with baffles 12. Figure 3 The feed output from the silo 1 is guided to the feed trough 6 via the guide plate 11, and the baffles 12 on both sides prevent the feed from scattering outward, ensuring that the feed is output to the feed trough 6 in a stable and complete manner.
[0031] In the utility model, a plurality of baffles 10 are arranged at equal intervals above the feed trough 6. The baffles 10 are preferably inclined straight bars, the lower ends of which are mounted on the outer wall of the feed trough 6, and the upper ends are mounted on the side wall of the silo 1 and close to the discharge port of the silo 1. The distance between each two adjacent baffles 10 is 5-8 cm. This structure evenly separates the opening of the feed trough, and the chickens in the chicken farm eat from the space between two adjacent baffles 10, so that the chickens in the chicken farm can eat in an orderly manner.
[0032] In the utility model, in order to prevent the liquid medicine from contaminating the feed during the spray disinfection of the chicken farm, a cover plate 2 is hinged on the top of the silo 1, and the cover plate 2 covers the feed inlet 101 of the silo 1 to protect the feed contained in the silo 1. At the same time, a flap 5 is provided to match the opening of the trough 6, and the flap 5 is hinged to the side wall of the silo 1, and the hinge point is located above the baffle 10 and close to the baffle 10. The flap is flipped down to block the opening of the trough 6, and a locking structure is provided between the silo 1 and the flap 5, and the position of the flap 5 after flipping up is fixed by the locking structure. When feeding, the flap 5 is flipped up to a position that is attached to the side wall of the silo 1, and then the flap 5 is fixed by the locking structure. When the chicken farm is sprayed and disinfected, the flap 5 is released, and the flap is flipped down until it contacts the baffle 10. At this time, the baffle 10 supports the flap 5, and the flap 5 blocks the opening of the trough 6, preventing the liquid medicine from entering the trough 6, thereby improving the safety of the feed.
[0033] In the present utility model, the locking structure is as follows Figure 4 As shown, it includes a pull rope 4, a rope winding column 3 and a fixed column 14. A strip hole 51 is vertically provided at the upper end of the flap 5. The proximal end of the pull rope 4 passes through the strip hole 51 and is fixedly sleeved on the limiting column 13. The diameter of the limiting column 13 is greater than the hole width of the strip hole 51, or the length of the limiting column 13 is greater than the length of the strip hole 51. The limiting column 13 connects the pull rope 4 and the flap 5 to prevent the pull rope 4 from falling off. The rope winding column 3 and the fixed column 14 are both arranged on the top surface of the silo 1. A ring is provided at the far end of the pull rope 4. The pull rope 4 is wound around the rope winding column 3, and the ring is sleeved on the fixed column 14, thereby fixing the position of the flap 5.
[0034] In the utility model, the feed bin 1, the feed trough 6 and the discharge port of the feed bin are all rectangular structures, so that uniform feeding into the feed bin along the length direction of the feed bin and uniform discharge from the feed bin to the feed trough can be achieved. The star-shaped discharger controls the feed discharge speed and the discharge amount, so that continuous discharge to the feed trough can be achieved during the feeding period, so that the feed trough can maintain a certain amount of feed during the period, and the feed amount is relatively stable, so that the chickens raised in the chicken farm can be fed stably and evenly.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
